CMM

Develops and optimizes dimensional measurement strategies, CMM programs, and inspection methods to ensure products meet engineering and customer requirements. This role provides technical guidance in metrology, dimensional analysis, and measurement systems while supporting new product launches, production, quality improvement, and problem resolution.

• Develop, validate, and optimize advanced CMM programs based on engineering drawings, CAD models, GD&T, and customer requirements.
• Establish measurement strategies, inspection methods, probe configuration, fixtures, and CMM programming standards.
• Program and operate CMM equipment using applicable metrology software.
• Troubleshoot complex CMM programming, measurement, equipment, and repeatability issues.
• Optimize inspection programs to improve measurement accuracy, repeatability, and cycle time.

• Interpret complex engineering drawings, CAD models, specifications, tolerances, and GD&T requirements.
• Analyze dimensional data to identify variation, trends, and potential manufacturing or product concerns.
• Perform dimensional layouts, capability studies, correlation studies, and advances measurement analysis.
• Evaluate product and process variation and provide technical recommendations to Engineering, Quality, and Manufacturing.
• Develop comprehensive dimensional reports for internal and customer requirements.
• Support root-cause analysis and corrective actions for dimensional and manufacturing concerns.

• Develop and validate measurement methods to ensure appropriate accuracy, repeatability, and reproducibility.
• Lead and support Measurement System Analysis (MSA), including Gauge R&R studies.
• Evaluate measurement uncertainty, equipment capability, and inspection methodology.
• Establish measurement and inspection requirements for new and existing products.
• Support calibration, verification, correlation, and preventative maintenance requirements for CMM and dimensional measurement systems.
• Ensure measurement systems comply with applicable company, customer, and automotive quality requirements.

• Lead dimensional measurement planning for new product launches and engineering changes.
• Review product drawings, GD&T, and customer requirements during APQP to establish appropriate inspection strategies.
• Develop CMM programs, fixtures, inspection plans, and measurement methods required for new programs.
• Perform and support dimensional layouts for PPAP submissions and customer approvals.
• Support prototype, pre-production, validation, and production trail activities.
• Identify dimensional risks prior to launch and coordinate corrective actions with Engineering, Manufacturing, and Quality.

• Partner with Product Engineering, Manufacturing Engineering, Quality, and Production to resolve dimensional and process-related concerns.
• Provide dimensional analysis to support tooling adjustments, process optimizations, and product improvement.
• Support investigations of customer complaints and internal nonconformance.
• Assist with containment and disposition decisions by providing accurate dimensional data and technical analysis.
• Participate in design, tooling, fixture, and process reviews from a metrology perspective.
• Interface with customers and suppliers regarding dimensional measurement requirements and concerns as needed.
• Develop and maintain CMM programming, metrology, and dimensional inspection standards.
• Identify opportunities to automate and improve measurement processes, inspection efficiency, and data reporting.
• Support compliance with IATF 16949, AIAG Core Tools, and…
